Installation Steps
Installation and (re)configuration tasks should be performed in a specific order to avoid possible
complications.
1 Mount the router.
Before rack-mounting, remove all installed modules to make the router easier to lift into
place. (NV8500 series routers ship with the cards and backplanes installed.)
Before making any connections or installing any modules, the router and other frames
should be mounted in a rack so that the frame remains stable when you are connecting
cables to the frame. See
Rack Mount
on page 18.
2 (Re)Install cards and backplanes.
These include I/O cards, monitor cards, I/O backplanes, monitor backplanes, crosspoint
cards, and control cards.
NV8500 series routers ship with the cards and backplanes installed. You might have to
remove the cards and backplanes initially to be able to lift the router into place in its rack.
For information about the modules and installation instructions, see the related section:

3 Make control connections.
Router control system connections allow the router and router control system to communi-
cate. See
Router Control
on page 83.
4 Make expansion connections.
If you installing an NV8576-Plus, make the necessary expansion connections between the
two frames. See
Expanded NV8576-Plus
on page 97.
5 Make (optional) alarm connections.
Alarm connections communicate system and power status to external indicators. Use the
system alarm connector on the router frame.
If you are installing an NV8280, NV8576, or NV8576-Plus, you can use the power supply
alarm connectors on the NV8300 power supply frame. (The NV8144 and NV8140 do not use
